Research on Longitudinal Intelligent Control of Autonomous-rail Rapid Tram by TANG Liang, SHEN Mengyu, XIAO Lei

“…According to the simulation results, using the developed longitudinal intelligent control algorithm, the test train can depart, accelerate, decelerate and stop stably following the train ahead, and automatically decelerate on curves and run passing traffic light intersections, with a speed control accuracy within ± 1 km / h, impact rate less than 0.75 m/s³, and alignment error for parking less than ± 0.21 m, demonstrating the effectiveness to reduce driving intensity for drivers, and improve the train running comfort and operating efficiency.…”

Time series analysis of urethral obstruction in male cats in a veterinary teaching hospital in São paulo, Brazil by Reiner Silveira de Moraes, Luíz Guilherme Dércore Benevenuto, Suellen Rodrigues Maia, Maria Gabriela Picelli de Azevedo, Fernanda Barthelson Carvalho de Moura, Diego Ribeiro, Alessandra Melchert, Henry David Mogollón García, Rogério Giuffrida, Adriano Sakai Okamoto, Priscylla Tatiana Chalfun Guimarães Okamoto

“…ARIMA closely followed historical data but was ineffective for future forecasting, showing a flat projection from 2021 to 2024 (rate: 0.64) despite past fluctuations. The Holt-Winters model projected a rise in UO cases, from 0.70 (95% CI: 0.43–0.97) in 2021 to 1.09 (95% CI: 0.38–1.79) in 2024, but its wide confidence intervals indicated potential overestimation. …”
